On this topic...
I wanted the same quota to be applied to all users. So I ran the following
script which gave me a list of all users (minus those that I didn't want to be
a part of this list, eg "admin" as per what follows), in the file 'userlist'.:
---
ls -l /home/e-smith/files/users/ > users
rm -f userlist
for record in `awk '($3 == $9) && ($9 != "admin") {print $9}' users`
do
echo $record >> userlist
done
rm -f users
---
I then set one user's quota (to use Darrell's eg, bob) to what I wanted.
Then, using & changing part of Darrell May's quotas howto (this was before
quotas were implemented on the web-panel, in 5.0), I simply replicated bob's
quota to all others. It seems to work.

HowTo implement Quota management
Contributor: Darrell May
5.3 Assigning quota for a bunch of users with the same value
To rapidly set quotas for, say 100 users, on my system to the same value as my
user bob, I would first edit bob's quota information by hand, then
execute:
/usr/sbin/edquota -p bob `awk -F: '$3 > 499 {print $1}' /etc/passwd`
assuming that you are using csh, and that you assign your user UID's starting
with 500.

Mine:
-----
/usr/sbin/equota -p bob `cat userlist`
-----
Does anyone see any problems with my method? Is there some further e-smith event
that I should be triggering also? The quotas show up fine in the webpanels
immediately after I've run this.
Cheers,
Greg.
